Three takeaways from Joe Biden’s climate summit

Within a year we will see pleas from Alberta workers for a Green New Deal-style transition plan and the next Alberta government post-Kenney will join with CAPP in agreeing to a regulated wind down of production to save the Alberta economy and ensure producers have an orderly transition schedule instead of stranded assets and an economic debacle.

Joe Biden's administration is not only showing leadership and competency in handling the pandemic, positioning the U.S. for a strong economic recovery, and endeavouring to lower rhetoric and tensions in a deeply divided America, but, most importantly, the new administration is launching an 'all-of-government' approach to the most serious threat to America's future, writes Bill Henderson.
